    I am! Just got in my box blind. Didn't feel like roughing it today. Lazy from all the Christmas food and snacks. Just over 2 hours to go!

    Hope that you have a heater!

    (don't turn it up to high though. It's embarrassing to wake up an hour or so after end of shooting!)

    Haha oh yes there's a heater going! Not too cold out but figured I'd fire it up for the heck of it. No deer spotted tonight. Areas been hunted heavily think they've all moved over to the neighbors.

    Be sure to smile and say please and thank you.



    Just kidding. I wouldn't do it in face paint or in camo.

    Good luck.

    Shot a doe right before sundown. Quartering away at 18 yds. Looked like three back of one lung and through the other. Only thing that threw me for a loop is she took off like hell then stopped at 50 yds for 2 minutes. Then she just walked off with another doe while twitching her tail. Wasn't supposed to rain at all but after I shot her it started misting. Got dark as heck as there is no moon and heavy clouds.

    Will pick up the track job in the morning with my son as I can't be out on this base past 7pm and don't want to push her. Couldn't even find my arrow bc it was pitch dark. Hoping she is dead or I completely missed.
